I just checked Rapco and Military-Markings and they both agree:
#33070 41-43 (Early WW11 Darker OD)
#319 44-45 (late WW11 Lighter OD)
So after all the replies I've recieved, (THANK YOU!) my question would be?
Is my 52' GMC M135 suppose to be #23070 or #24087? Because they overlap and
I've heard both answers..More lean to #24087 but why not #23070?
#23070 Late WW11 to mid-50's
#24087 Mid 50's to Post vietnam
Thanks,
Steve
